Description

807. Have you ever worried that your child’s “laziness” means they’ll never reach their potential? In this episode, Dr. Nanika Coor explores how internalized messages shape the way you understand motivation, and how you can replace frustration with curiosity and compassion, helping you and your child  thrive with more connection and self-trust.
